Hi folks,

I've just pushed up a packed git repo:

http://www.kerneltools.org/pub/downloads/module-init-tools/devel/module-init-tools.git

Attempting to clone this repo using http generates the error in 
$subject. Brief searching via Google suggests this is an appache 
permissions problem - anyone got a trivially obvious apache config fix 
before I go trawling through to figure out what's up?


```

What does your apache error log say?

That's just the thing - nothing. I get what looks like a good access in
the access log, but then that error - I can play around, but I know
others have discovered this to be some "known" apache problem. So, I'm
hoping someone knows what that is, before I start debugging it.

Jon.
